Signature
Great wine begins in the vineyard.
Karel Novotný inherited neither a winery nor a ready-made rulebook. He made his first Muscat at fifteen and founded his own label in 2010. Today, he farms two hectares of estate vineyards and works with selected fruit from a handful of precisely defined sites.
In the cellar, each wine determines its own path: stainless steel for purity, concrete for texture, Burgundy and Bordeaux barrels for time and structure. Innovation is never a gesture. It must serve the wine.

The architecture of wine
Three ranges.
Two signatures.
Black Label for drinking now. FIGURE, matured in a concrete egg. Elements, shaped by site, oak and time. Alongside them, Steward and BISCUIT — two stand-alone bottlings, each with its own voice.

Šidleny
A house for wine.
A place for people.
The contemporary winery is set into the hillside of a historic cellar lane. Production, cellar, tasting room and courtyard come together under one roof — a place where wine is made and matured, then shared with food and people.
“My mother wanted me to become a programmer. Or an electrician. But I kept feeling drawn elsewhere. Back to the soil, to people, to aromas and flavours.”

Karel + Zbyněk
From childhood. Through every harvest. To your table.
They have been friends for as long as they can remember. Karel shapes the wines and cooks when guests visit. Zbyněk runs the cellar and dispatch. Together, they have built a small winery where expertise matters just as much as time spent around the table.
